544 Chapter 543 As soon as Jenkins spoke, Peter was slightly startled. Then, he frowned and looked at her. What did you say? Susan also looked toward Jenkins, puzzled. When Susan happened to pass by the accident site and saw Peter lying on the ground next to a burning car, she realized it was an opportunity. The bystanders were all saying that a young girl had bravely rescued someone. Having had her eyes on the wealthy Peter for a while, and with him barely paying her any attention, Susan immediately recognized this was a good chance. So, Susan rushed over and stayed by Peters side. Indeed, when Peter woke up, Susan asked him some questions, only to find out that he had no idea who had saved him, so she just went along with it. Susan wondered what Jenkins meant by that. Jenkins looked at Peter and scoffed, about to speak 09:02 19 544 Chapter 543 when the commotion drew the attention of everyone else in the room. They all came out one after another. James asked, Whats going on this time? His choice of words reflected his extreme impatience. Peter also wore an embarrassed expression, while Susans eyes turned red with grievance. Your maid hit me. How is that possible? James immediately retorted. Our maid has always been professional and never hits people randomly. You must have done something deplorable, havent you? Susan hadnt expected him to say such things and was stunned on the spot. She looked at him incredulously. James, with resentment, turned to Peter. Peter, manage her. How much trouble has she created since she came into this household? If you cant handle her, the two of you should move out! Our family has many brothers, and when we were young, we would all get punished equally by our parents regardless of who was 09-02 544 Chapter 543 at fault. How come so many issues have arisen? Hearing that, Peter couldnt lift his head. He clenched his jaw, looking toward Susan. For the first time, he felt tired. He had long noticed that Susan was vain. She always wanted money from him for shopping. But he had always obliged her since he was never short of money. Besides that point, Susan had always seemed considerate. How had she suddenly become like this? Peter was confused. At that moment, Susan suddenly rolled up her sleeve to reveal an ugly burn scar hidden beneath. That was the blister Peter had seen on Susans arm when he had woken up in the hospital. She claimed it resulted from rescuing him, saying it was no big deal. Later, he had even bought many scar removal ointments for her, but none worked. Any doubt that Peter had just started to harbor instantly dissipated. 39 544 Chapter 543 If she could risk her life for him, then a few faults didnt matter His gaze immediately softened, and he firmly said, James, Susan saved my life, and I wont allow you to speak of her this way. Besides, as you said, both sides get punished when brothers fight, so shouldnt Susan and the maid both be punished? James frowned. Tell me, how do you want to handle this? After thinking for a moment, Peter said, How about this? Ill have Susan apologize to her, but I want the maid to pay for Susans clothes. Upon hearing this, Jenkins was shocked. That dress cost thirteen thousand dollars, not just three hundred! She immediately objected. No way! If thats unacceptable, then get lost. Peter rubbed his temples with a headache and scolded. Jenkinss eyes were rimmed red. 544 Chapter 543 As a maid in this household, she earned a monthly salary of three thousand, which was unattainable elsewhere. She couldnt afford to lose this job! Jenkins bit her lip. Just moments ago, she thought dignity was the most important thing, but now, she felt her dignity lay shattered on the ground. She looked at Peter. Theres no need for Miss Simpson to apologize. Ill apologize, alright? Just dont make me pay for the dress! Peter nodded, about to agree. Susan, however, said bluntly, No, I want you to compensate for my dress. Peter loves it, and thats what I insist on! Susan had seen Jenkinss distress and wanted to make a point to teach Jenkins a lesson. She couldnt care less about apologizing to the maid. Jenkins clenched her fists tightly. Susan turned to Jenkins. Im Sorry. It was my fault for not looking where I was going and bumping into you. Jenkinss fists were clenched so tightly. She wanted to 00:02 59 544 Chapter 543 say

something but didnt know what to say She looked pleadingly at the butler. The butler then shook his head at her. Jenkinss eyes were bloodshot red as she hung her head and took a deep breath. Fine, Ill pay! Indeed, the dress was worth thirteen thousand, five months of her salary. But without this job, she couldnt find another that paid this well After leaving these words, she crouched down and placed the fruits that had fallen to the floor on the fruit plate. Then, carrying the plate, she walked away. Afterward, she returned with a cleaning cloth to wipe the floor clean. Her movements were smooth and fluid. James and Peter found it somewhat unbearable to watch. Their family never mistreated the help. Satisfied, Susan excitedly hooked her arm with Peters. Peter, lets go back to the card game. 69 544 Chapter 543 The mood for fun had already faded from the group. So, finding an excuse, they dispersed. Peter escorted Susan away, and after arriving at her place, he looked at Susan. Susan, I think in the future, you should Peter, I know. Ill love you even more from now on. For you, I can give up anything! Whatever happens, Ill always be there for you, ensuring that no threat comes to your life! The lecture Peter had intended got stuck in his throat. After a moment, he smiled at Susan. Alright, Susan, thank you for saving my life! On the drive home, Peter stared ahead, suddenly recalling the words Keira had said and Susans abnormal behavior over the past few days. He sighed suddenly. Was this choice of his the right one? Regardless of whether his sisters words were true or false, he was starting to feel like breaking up with Susan. But then he would remember how she had saved his life 09:03 544 Chapter 543 He was still thinking about it when he returned to the Olsen residence. After parking the car, he was ready to go upstairs. Just as he was about to enter the bedroom, he heard someone sobbing nearby. Turning around, he saw Jenkins carefully wiping the bay window with a cleaning cloth. She did her work meticulously, yet her eyes were redrimmed, and he could hear occasional sobs, which made her look all the more pitiable. The more Jenkins thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. In her anger, she blurted out, Had I known it would come to this, I should have left him at the scene of the car accident! Thats what he deserves!
